I personally think Charleston is a great school. Like every other school, it has it's pros and cons. If you're a shy person, Charleston is different than other schools. We greet you with open arms, the people here are fantastic and friendly. And the coaches, they're great teachers and because of their known status, everyone respects them, especially the football players. The student body is in every way smart thanks to the teachers and hard working students. Some grades have scored the top in Math or Literature in the Benchmark in Arkansas. And every group Charleston has, excells! The football team won the championship, woman's basketball team won the championship also. Also, the band scored an excellent at a contest. There are many others that I haven't included. the facility, student body, supporters, and more are all great people. Charleston is a great place.

I have been at Charleston for my entire school career, and to be completely honest, I hate it. Grades K-6 were great as far as education goes, but once I entered seventh grade, everything became centered around sports. Charleston definitely has a great athletics program, however school is NOT about athletics-- it's about education. I'm currently in my Freshman year, and the majority of my teachers are coaches. In these classes, we hardly ever learn anything from the teachers. Instead, we are assigned book work in which we 'teach ourselves.' I can honestly say that I am not prepared for college, and I am looking to change schools my Sophomore year. If you're looking for a school that is strong in athletics, but weak in education, Charleston High School is a great school for you!

I think the school is a great school and the teacher's are very good. I feel that the school board choose the teacher's with the studient's in mind. I'm a supporter of the school. and I am proud of it.

Charleston High School is a highly regarded school. They not only have the best test scores of any school around, they are excellent in all athletics. Contrary to what many post, they have tons of extracuricular activities. They have many clubs form business to Construction work related as well as spirit and church groups. Charleston is also a good school that isn't overrun with potheads. If there are any potheads, they are vastly overrun by good students. Charleston is in my opinion Top 5 in the state.

Teachers who are firm, tough, yet fair, are mislabeled as, "bullies." This is such a ridiculous and false accusation. I got a tough job but I love my job and I care about the students. People don't have a clue what I do or the challenges... More »

How I handled it varied depending on the circumstances. Teacher bullying is child abuse-proove it 1st! If teacher/pricipal/staff won't stop-go above their heads-Seek help from PTO's,administration,schoolboard,media,even CPS-Child Protective Services.

No one should put up with this. Take it as high as you need to go and follow up everything in writing. Even so far as going to your local paper. School A tolerates bullying and won't help children being victimized. They will listen after that!
